“Not seeing how admitting my own past complicity in wrecking America is diverting anything.”
I’m not asking you to admit anything.
I am wondering why you would not use Trumps popularity to overturn existing party hierarchy so that we get less “moral relativism”. Instead you’d undermine the possibility of change because it comes from Trump. I don’t get it.
I don’t know exactly what Trump would accomplish as a nominee (we don’t know what ANY candidate would accomplish at this point)
But he has already shaken up the party. He seems to be driven by other things than they typical politician - at least if he isn’t he’s going about it a different way.
If he does NOTHING but illegal immigration reform, that is a reason for anyone, even someone of pristine political moral purity, to vote for him, or at least express support when he leads commandingly in the polls.
IF?
IF???
Why is it even a question? How is it that Trumps stronges backers can ask IF their candidate will do something so basic?
That aside, I’ll go with it. If he did every thing he said on illegals while pushing his gay crap? No that is not reason enough to vote for him. If he did everything he said on illegals while raising taxes in violation of everything conservatives and everyone short of the DNC has preached for decades? No it ain’t good enough. It ain’t good enough to take one YHHHhuge step forward and 25 bog ones backward across the board.
And it isn’t about hated purity. It’s about either believing in conservative values that founded America or it isn’t. Your position is one held by moderates. Most of Trumps supporters are. So they makes them at best, moderates. So be it. Just don’t question why or complain when you get what you claim not to want.
It’s great that he is destroying the GOP. I love it. I support ‘that’. Tell me what solid basis, what in his history should convince me to give my vote to him. As a conservative American.
I am willing to be convinced. If you wish to try, lets have a serious conversation. But I will forewarn you. I have read his history, I am brutally familiar with Republican history, and I know why I believe what I do because it is based on fact.
If you don’t want to have that conversation thats equally fine.
